WHY TAPS BAN?
Open discussion
WHY TAPS BAN?
TAPS promotes tobacco use by:• Creating an impression that tobacco is acceptable
and normal• Encouraging smokers to increase consumption• Lowering smokers’ motivation to quit smoking• Encouraging children to experiment with smoking• Reducing opportunities for open discussions on
the dangers of tobacco use due to income received from tobacco advertising
